AMD's Catalyst Linux Driver Preparing For A World Without An X Server?

Comment

Nah...
I really wish they were though. Being a arch user is a nightmare if I want to use catalyst because they're so slooow at updating. If only AMD just fused both open source and closed drivers together to create a frankenstein driver with bleeding edge support and great 3D performance I wouldn't think twice when buying a new GPU. Until that happens, however, I'm going with NVIDIA.

A bit too late, no? they should have had this when virtual coin miners were buying AMD GPUs like crazy... Of course someone will use it in the future, but, come on, it's 2014 and they just started separating the driver from the graphics part...
You know why nVidia has an advantage to AMD? It's because they say they are a *software* company that just happens to make hardware... That, while AMD seems to be quite a mess internally (firing engineers after a few years, rehiring them when things go wrong, etc.).

Be aware, that if you are calling out to turn or make AMD opensource driver into Frankenstein, than you will be very much upvoted for inquisition, because the said driver is working perfectly in 3D and 2D for *many* AMD cards and is reason why some people buy AMD TODAY thank you very much.
